The breeding research of the Institute and the Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding has been pictured on plates which are hung on show in a temporary showroom in the months of May, June and July. For that purgose the threshing floor of the Institute is fitted up as a reception room during these months. New plates are added every year: with small costs and without too much trouble an attractive show is soon made.The writer gives a description of this exhibition in 1960, together with a survey of the working programmes of the institutes.In the references a number of articles are mentioned describing the work of the two institutes.
